   We have a BE with two tables...lets say Vendor (parent) and VendorProduct (child). There is a relation (one to many) between the two tables using the VendorNum for each table,
   
   In some situations the Child table will be filled when fetching a Vendor record. However, in other scenarios we would just be fetching VendorProduct records. Is there a way to determine in the BE if the VendorProduct is being filled due to the relation? I have tried using the DatasetHelper:ActiveRelationNames but always returns the defined relation.

   Hi Roger, within the Business Entity in FetchData the FetchDataRequest argument is having a Tables propery. This contains the list of tables (comma-delimited) that are requested from the consumer (UI, DatasetModel, ...). 
   
   Is that what you're looking at? 
   
   Relations are usually always active, so that this won't help you further.

   Great. In other methods within the Business Entity this is also available within the THIS-OBJECT:FetchDataRequest property.
